Things to watch (5)
From the version posted Oct 15, 2026.
- Worth checking: Quality system and repair quality plan required. You need a written quality control system and a quality plan that the Government can review, and you must pass its requirements down to any subcontractors.
- Worth checking: Priority-rated order. The order is a DO-rated order (a Defense Department priority order for national defense), which usually means the Government expects it to be scheduled ahead of ordinary work.
- Minor: Heavy record keeping. You must keep receiving inspection records with dimensional readings, plus a history file for each item by serial number, which adds paperwork for a small shop.

- Minor: Lowest price decides the award. The award goes to the lowest-priced quote that is technically acceptable, so there is no credit for extra quality or past performance.
- Minor: Only one offer clause. The clause list includes an Only One Offer clause, so the Government may ask for cost or pricing data if just one quote comes in.
